Unable to send code to both the Arduino Uno and Mega 2560

I have both MVS 2010, 2012 and 2013 on my PC.  For a time I had MVS 2015 on my system.  I wrote a program for the Uno and downloaded it to the chip many times using the Arduino IDE.

I thought it would be nice to be able to run a debugger on the code.  So I downloaded the Community versions of the MVS and loaded Visual Micro into it.  It compiles the code and produces exactly the same number of bytes as the Arduino IDE.  But it will not download the code into the Uno.  Today I received a Mega 2560 board and again compiled and loaded it into the Mega using the Arduino IDE.  Again, the Visual Micro extension of MVS will not.  The exact errors are that it will not sync with the board:

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x03

I am using the same settings in Visual Micro as I use in the Arduino IDE.  Any hints about what is incorrect?

Hi,

This is because you have switched on "Upload using programmer".

Normal COM upload is not a programmer so please switch it off again.

Thanks

While I could not find COM mentioned, the hint allowed me to find and toggle several configuration items and one or more of them worked.

Thanks,

Bob

Yes.  But I use the toolbar triangle in a circle button (compile and load).

I was able to try various things in the debugger today.

It all seems to be working.   Smiley
